deleting photos form media library
-
in situ – where?
What is or are the URL(s) of the post or posts that are displaying these images? What are the URLs of the images being displayed? Note this thread has been previously tagged for Staff but until you post the URLs they have diddly squat to work with. -
WHAT ARE THE URLS OF THE PHOTOS, STARTING WITH HTTP AND ENDING WITH .JPG?
If they are on your blog, they have a URL.

I have already posted this. It is not a problem it is a question, which I am still trying to find an answer to.
I am being told that if an item is removed form the Media section, it also is removed form the Blog piece which clearly isn’t the case.
The PHOTOS are on a Blog piece
Before removing them from MEDIA, I saved them to a USB DRIVE which is unplugged
I deleted them from my desktop and emptied the rubbish bin
I have cleared the browser cache and cookies
I just rechecked and they are still on the BLOG PIECE

@ raincoaster
Not meaning to be rude here but what doesn’t anyone here understand.
THESE WERE PHOTOGRAPHS ON MY COMPUTER, WHICH ARE GONE
read above.
By the way I am not an idiot, I really take exception to your comment.
I have been using the Internet since is started in this country and a computer before that.

Let’s take this from the very beginning.
You take a photo and upload it from your phone or camera to your computer. You can then save that photo to a USB drive or external hard drive.
If you then upload that photo to WordPress.com, we are storing it entirely separately from anything that is on your computer. If you delete the photo from both your computer’s hard drive and your USB drive, it will still be on WordPress.com and therefore visible on the internet.
If you wish to delete it from WordPress.com, you can do so by logging into your WordPress.com blog and going into the media library and deleting it from there.
Once you’ve done that, it will be removed from our servers. However, Google may cache a copy for their searches, and your own computer browser may have a cached copy that shows up in your browser. Both of those cached versions will expire in time, and you can contact Google to speed up the process.
If you can provide a direct link to an image you wish deleted from your blog, or a link to the post with a description of the image(s), I would be happy to assist you further.

YES.. Please

Well the photo was sent to me. I saved it on my desktop

Yes…..BUT AS AN EXPERIMENT I DELETED IT FROM THE MEDIA LIBRRY TOO and it is still there

Sorry and I am not being rude and I know you have been helpful in the past jackiedana, but is no one reading properly here?
I DON’T WANT TO DELETE ANYTHING.
My initial question was and still is
if I delete items from media library in wordpress, does that remove the item from the post please
-

Thank you and which University did you attend then?
Clearly you are even unable to read IDIOT
-
I’m done with you. Staff can attempt to read your mind. First, perhaps, it might be advisable to get one.
-
Clearly you are the idiot if your feeble brain cannot even comprehend the question that was initially asked in this topic.
The question being
“if I delete items from media library in wordpress, does that remove the item from the post please ?’I rest my case
-
Yes, it does. It did the first time I answered the question. And the second. And now, again. It does.
-
Well it doesn’t. I just checked my husband’s computer because I thought it might be stored somewhere, somehow on mine, even though I have had a major clean out
-
Alright, folks. I’m going to lock this thread shortly since the back and forth isn’t helping anyone.
Shirlee — if you’d like to share a link to the post that has the image that isn’t deleting when you remove it from the Media section, I can take a look for you and let you know what’s going on. You can send a link to the Edit Post page of that post if you’d prefer.
Both of y’all, let’s calm down a bit.

@ kraftbj
The only issue I am having here is the fact I asked a simple question, which no one seems to be able to read or comprehend.
The question being
“if I delete items from media library in wordpress, does that remove the item from the post please ?’
I do not understand why no one can comprehend, understand, grasp or fathom what that means.
Absolutely mind blowing
The first answer was in the AFFIRMATIVE
To which I answered that wasn’t the case.
Then everyone, for some inexplicable reason, probably because they seem unable to understand the Queen’s English or read, went off on a tangent.

Shirlee,
Deleting an image from your media library will delete the image from appearing in blog posts, when the cache clears.
To ensure the quickest load time possible, we cache images uploaded on various servers across the country so visitors will have a shorter load time (technically, we run our own CDN, content distribution network).
Those caches will naturally expire after a short time (a day or so after the last view of the image), so any image deleted may appear in blog posts immediately after deletion, but will be completely deleted and not accessible soon.
In short, the volunteers are correct that deleting the images from the media library will fully delete that image from any blog post that’s using it, though it isn’t always instantaneous.
